I don't get why this book is so popular. It feels like it's just two stories that happen to be close geographically and temporally, but otherwise unrelated. Can you explain the appeal?

>Pride and Prejudice
That's a real fun read. Guilty pleasure of mine.

>Can you explain the appeal?
I love the contrast. We see the glory of humanity in the construction of the 1893 World's Fair, and we see the horrors of one man's cruel, selfish actions. Plus the various tidbits about other events and products in America, and how they are tied to the World's Fair, were fascinating.

M8, if you practice the most basic grooming and stoicism (shower, try to move forward with your life) you're looking at 36. Everything else (relationship, living space) just takes time and practice.
There's no great secret to living well buddy. Just keep living well and focus on what matters.

Also, I don't think not doing drugs or alcohol, or not having a criminal record necessarily makes you more normie. I'd like to get into wine, but I don't go outside or buy things. I can't get arrested or get drugs if I don't go outside either, and nobody is really influencing me to do these things since I'm a loner. A more normal person would be more likely to do these things than me.
